Shana Tova!

Yom chamishi, 28 Elul 5769.

While we are busy cleaning and shopping and cooking, there is some other work to be done. I don't know about you -- but I keep waking up in the middle of the night with the guilty feeling that I am not really getting anywhere spiritually. Maybe it was glancing at last year's list of midot I was so determined to change... and seeing that I could pretty much make the same list again this year.

(Sigh.)

The guys at aish.com are getting better and better at making short films that get to the heart of the matter. Please enjoy this one. Let it help you to get closer and higher in that climb we each are trying to make toward a perfect relationship with our Creator.

May you be inscribed and sealed for Good! May we share the imminent Geula. (Let's see now... where did I put that tamborine?

About Me

I am anxious for everyone to get along, starting with the Jews. Scratch that. Starting with religious Jews. Hmmmm... probably still a lot to strive for. How about religious Jews in Israel? In Gush Etzion? In my yishuv? How about let's just start with my family. Okay, guys. As Abba says, "World peace starts at this table." Let's get our act together, and bring Moshiach.

In small ways, every day, I try to to do my part to rectify the error in judgment of my zaydies, the meraglim. "See these big grapes? We can make really big wine!"
